The Nile floods Egypt primarily due to seasonal rains in the Ethiopian highlands, where the river originates. These rains swell the river, causing it to overflow its banks and inundate the surrounding farmland, particularly in the summer months. This annual flooding deposited nutrient-rich silt on the land, which was crucial for agriculture and supported the development of ancient Egyptian civilization. The predictable nature of the floods allowed Egyptians to plan their planting and harvesting cycles effectively.

How was farming possible in Egypt?
Farming was only possible in Egypt in the flood plains of the Nile river. Every year the Nile floods, carrying nutrient-rich silt over the flood plains and fertilizing the fields on both sides of the river. Water flowing through the Nile is fresh and was used for irrigation on the fields. Away from the water of the Nile River, Egypt has a desert climate and farming is either subsistence or impossible.
